In this richly illustrated guide, self-taught embroidery artist Emillie Ferris shows you how to pick up a needle and thread in the same way as a paintbrush to create strokes of colour and bring images to life on fabric. Each design has around 60 detailed step-by-step photos, showing every stage of the process, so that even complete beginners can follow along and create beautiful embroideries. High quality iron-on transfers at the back of the book allow you to transfer the designs directly onto fabric to get started straight away.
